What is music therapy? Is it even a real thing, and if so, how and why does it work? In the last of our guest video series, Micah from Neuro Transmissions joins us to shed some light on a practice that may seem too good to be true, but is actually helping lots of people recover and thrive in the face of adversity.

Oh hey, it's me! I've gotta say, having tried my hand at drawing semi-comprehensible doodles between the bars of sheet music with a sharpie, I need to give mad props to Cory for his skills. It is not easy! I think I messed up and had to restart a page like...three times. Also, I don't know where he gets the money for those fancy gummy bears. Dude must be rolling in it.
Correction note: Annoyingly, I say "Gifford" instead of "Giffords" twice. Forgive me UA-cam!
You've gotten a new subscriber from me! Love this collaboration effort, glad you were featured here, and am really excited to check out some more of your content!
Also apparently I mispronounced Billie "Eye-lish" and said "Eee-lish" instead. Whoops. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The 12 tone pastiche was a touch of genius! Very nice way to tip your hat 😁
The video was super interesting too.
Really great collaboration! I'll definitely have a look at your channel =) While watching the video, specially after the part where you talked about the relevance of tailoring the treatment to each specific client (which by the way I'm glad you were so clear about), I kept wondering if the "healing" that comes with music therapy is caused by the "musical" ingredient of the therapy, or its just a consequence of the "tailoring-to-the-client" part (or something else)... I know you gave a couple examples that suggested that there might be something special about it, but i was wondering if there's any research that backs up that claim, for example, showing that Music Therapy is better than some other form of treatment in some specific context (for example, for a particular group of people, for some disorder, etc.)
This was SUCH a good video, Micah! Loved the 12tone-esque drawings and the deep dive into just how deep-seated music is in how our brains work.
As a board-certified music therapist, it makes me really happy to see this! The explanation Micah gives of MT is not only accurate, but it is also better detailed than many other professionals' attempts I have witnessed at explaining the field
Same. I'm gonna send this video to everyone I meet when I get the inevitable "what is music therapy" question
Music therapist here, this is all correct.
How did you get into this field?! Bless you for the work you do. Therapy of all sorts is so important.
R Coca I learned about it from a guest conductor during high school, then went to uw eau Claire for my bachelor’s, currently I work primarily with clients with autism and Down syndrome from 1 to 60 years old
I am working as a peer support for a recovery program and I also play the piano, and have been doing music therapy on Fridays. any suggestions on active therapy, is singing song writing the best or is playing piano and drums also effective
@@JesseDavis316 it all depends the client; there are some clients where we work on singing for vocal articulation, some work on guitar playing for fine motor coordination, and some I just talk with them while they choose recorded music to work on choice-making and socializing. I will say though, unless you are board certified, don’t list as what you do “music therapy” but you can call it therapeutic music
I had a small stroke about a year ago. My head had always been filled with old songs, and I discovered that singing them (sometimes using UA-cam to refresh my memory) made me feel better, and my neurologist pointed out that they helped me recover memory in general. I used "uplifting" songs like "The Mary Ellen Carter" and "Julian of Norwich- All shall be well". I had also played the ukulele before my stroke, but I couldn't force my fingers to form the chords properly, and I'm still working on that. The more I sing, the louder I sing, the more my brain recovers.
i hope u recover x
to an extent i thought all ppl knew that music could alter moods. like yeah, i learned in all kinds of courses, actually non music related, music does have an affect on ppl. i didnt know counts could actually affect heart rates till later. but on a surface level, id assume most ppl listen to music to wever fits their moods and personalities for wever time being. so if they do it, y wouldnt other ppl do it. i feel like this requires low self awareness to even empathize w/ something this simple... but i guess not. i work w/ the elderly in memory care, mostly & it drives me mad the staff they keep around. theyre lazy af. no, im not saying im some perfect angel. but trying to keep a hall of ppl all over the place, ppl not even in their right minds, ppl always in and out thats not staff, the wrong staff in the wrong hallways that will just talk straight sh to their faces bc theyre bored of their hallways they dont want to tend to just to complain about how memory care is doing too much is just ahhh. so, my "lazy half as* attempt at multi tasking" is like alexa? play the 50s! bc at least i can keep some of em all in 1 place. & i dont even mind the oldies. so, i try to hype em like these ur jams? sing it! uh oh , name that tune,, lol. other stuff bc at least it makes em happy, focused ... & i can tend to other stuff! the other few staff that prob delusionally tell themselves that others need their validation, those lazy ones who dont do Anything!, but just sit around & talk about their personal lives & blahzaye blahzaye is like honestly, cant you take up space somewhere else. bc even this struggling single mom here -too is tired of u talking about ur damn baby dad. like is that ur entire existence bc stfu already. i dont really actually care. same difference, but difference .then they turn off the music while still not doing sh. but gossiping still on their phones still oversharing, & at most, looking at them at the last hr. & by that, i mean somexs not even half assing it. like is there ever a time its not ever about you??? had to evacuate everybody yesterday. & close to never in my life... did i feel like an actual ha fake "awww look at them, theyre heroes." bc i gotta shift ppl around like im some grown man. in pretend scenerios that didnt even happen.but sh if my adrenalines going, its going. was gonna cry if that was fr & i didnt get them out.
I am a board-certified music therapist and I was always so inspired by Gabby Gifford’s progress with the help of neurological music therapy! Specifically a method called MIT (melodic intonation Therapy) which totally helped rewrire her brain and help connect damaged synapses to regain speech through singing! Music therapists have done so much intensive training and study to be able to apply these methods to clients! I truly love this field! I really appreciate the explanation that this guy provides for MT. :) Music Therapy isn’t an individual’s relationship/ experience in regards to music, instead, music therapy is an evidence based allied health profession administered by certified personal to meet goals and needs. You can learn more about music therapy from the American Music Therapy Association.
Hey, I was wondering, what's the job market for music therapy like in the US? I've been thinking about going into the field, but I worry that I may not find work.
As a Music Therapist we have a model which describes on which levels music therapy works! its called the ABECI Modell which says music therapy works: 1: A = on the Attention level. So music gets attention even from people with dementia who normally cant focus. 2: Behavioral level: Music makes to want you move and tap your foot or even dance or clap to the rhythm. 3. Emotional level: Music makes you connect to your emotions and to phases of your life where you connect specific music with. 4. Cognitional level: Music starts the association and you can get on thoughts and in connection and remember specific episodes of your life connected with music maybe better 5. Interaction: Music is a team sport and it brings people together and can help to form a group or a better interaction with the therapist
I sing songs at a retirement home every once in a while, and those people are the best audience in the world.
It's a therapy for me too. I walk out of there with my head held high. This kind of therapy is a two-way street.
If you can play and sing, ask your local care center if you can help out. They might even pay you for your troubles.
This is so wholesome and I love it.
Funny, I was literally just thinking about this the other day, wondering if it's something I could do.
My S.O. and I are staying with her grandmother right now to take care of her, she's over 80, 90% bedridden after breaking both hips, and she's diabetic with renal failure. It's all happened in the past five years after her husband passed, and it's been incredibly difficult for her because she had always been such an independent woman.
She noted that she's been very happy we've been here and loves hearing me play in the next room, so I've played for her specifically a few times and it lifts her mood so much, which is a big deal for a woman who regularly wonders why she's still alive and "why God is keeping her here."
Thank you so much for talking about music therapy!
Absolutely! I'm glad to find folks like you who appreciate it. :)
I’ve been self-medicating on ukulele. Like the counselor said, bring out the playful me, no the angry guy.
Thank you for doing this episode on music therapy! As a music therapist it gives me hope that there are people out there that appreciate what I do.
The ability to work around the "speaking" part of the brain with music (9:00) reminds me of Bumblebee from transformers. I wonder if they knew this when they did that, probably not, but still, it's a nifty correlation.
/thnks for this video. I was in a car accident. I said to a doctor afterwards: "At least I just have a concussion" He said: "You were hit by someone going 60 mph while you were at a dead stop, you have a bruise in the shape of the steering wheel on your forehead that is an inch tall. You have a TBI. There's no such thing as just a concussion." He was right. I've been suffering with Post Concussion Syndrome for more than three years now. Difficulty remembering words, emotional instability, severe depression, suicidal ideation etc. My guitars and other instruments sat unplayed for quite awhile. With Ketamine treatments and SSRIs I was able to climb out of the hole I was in. It's not normal music therapy, but making music has been therapeutic. The accident did something to my brain. I've recorded almost a thousand pieces of music in the last 6 months. A lot of it is good by my judgement and that of friends. I've even been asked to play on an album with a musician I've always looked up to as a result of this outpouring. I'll be going into the studio with a well respected producer/engineer soon.I'm currently working on material for at least 10 albums. Sequencing a collaborative album with another artist I love and respect. I need to stop recording and mix, but I'm afraid that might not be as good for my recovery. Aside from a successful but ultimately unsustainable attempt to use psychedelics to treat my injury, the work with music has done the most for me. I'm seeing sustained improvements in all areas. Thanks again. I love your videos.
Thanks for making this video! I’m going to begin studying music therapy next month. Many of my friends and family have no idea what music therapy is and why I would want to be a music therapist, so it’s great to see a video like this.
Yeah, I have the same situation with friends/family. If I may ask, what universities did you consider?
I did a study about the effects of classical music on shelter dogs and dogs with homes and they all loved it!!
Thanks for a useful clip. Nice to see the stave back in action. "It literally lights up the brain...well actually, I don't know about that. I don't know if there's any light in there." brought me a smile. Music has helped me greatly on my healing journey. Writing songs can make words come out in a different way than journalling, finding just the right key change at the right time can help the locked up sadness be expressed in tears, rage at the injustices of the world can become useful in strong driving rhythms, even practicing scales to a click track can be a form meditation. When the click disappears (in my mind's ear) I am often focused on the now and that can be calming. I look forward to music therapy gaining more funding for research and exploration into the power it can have with helping to heal.
I really enjoyed this collaboration. Thank you for inviting people!
The left-to-right drawings are so off-putting but it's great and I love it
Edit: I don't know how to direction, sorry, fixed
That transition back to staff page killed me 😂😂
lol same, I just couldn't stop laughing
Same HAHAH, nice friendly guy back into metal head 12tone
As a music therapy major in Arizona, I love Gabby Giffords’ story and never get tired of hearing it! It’s very inspirational!
I've been listening to music whenever I feel depressed and it truely helps me get out of my depression much sooner. Happy and sad music both seem to work but I prefer to listen to sad song more in general so that's usually what I stick to.
I love this man. Thank you for existing
Great speech and explanation! You are amazing dude!
You guys melded your video styles together so well awesome video!
This was a great ep, and I LOVE Tab For A Cause. I put it on every computer I use, and while it's usually a trio of ads at the bottom right corner for me, they're really not obtrusive.
I love this so much. Thank you!
I had a person come to my school advocating for music therapy on behalf of the Life is Beautiful Foundation. Basically, she went up and told us that sad music was causing several teenager's depression and replacing it with pop music cured them. It was the most aggravating thing to listen to as someone who likes emo music, so the term "music therapy" kinda triggers me. It's nice to hear an expert talk about the actual scientifically proven parts of it.
Preference is an important part of music therapy!
You have such an awesome channel. I enjoy and learn so much. What I really want you to know though. The GUMMY BEARS at the end of each of your videos, is absolute pure genius and I watch just for the gummy toss. It shows compassion, humor, intimacy, and a lot of the Character of your channel. Keep up the great work
I'd be interested in knowing about how music therapy affects people who are musically trained. Like, are the same benefits afforded to those who work/perform as musicians or because of their affiliation with it, do they interpret the therapy less/more effectively? Awesome video though, keep on rockin'!
Interesting topic to explore more
It may depend in what they are using the therapy for. As a music therapist and brain injury specialist, musicians tend to benefit even more from the general population from music therapy. Their neural connections for music are stronger as is their understanding of how powerful music is.
I missed the location of that shooting by only hours... my neighbor was still there when it happened and called us to warn us not to come to that part of town. Not often that I hear about it these days
🥹 thank you for this video!! I love your other videos and am a music therapist. Well done 🙌
Hey man I respect you so much. People need to pay more attention to this. It can save lives. Thank you.
I listen to Boards of Canada. It helped me to think and feel in a different perspective.
I useo music as my focus cure - I have ADD and it helps me keep focus at work, talking with new people and video games. (=
Dope vid, love it
I have self-prescribed music as a way to push out harmful thoughts and music.
When I'm in a bad mood I put on some loud metal or punk and it turns my mood around. So yeah, it works.
Completely agree. Too many people think that because metal and punk deal with difficult subjects listening to it gets you in a bad mood, while usually it does the complete opposite.
Video games on the shelf, cat tower and instruments in the room, a friend of 12tone... this guy is pretty cool!
your video was cool! thank u:)
Music has always had a therapeutic affect on me. I have no doubt it works in some cases
The music when Micah had the guitar really confused me. I was like "He legit just muted the strings, why am I still hearing them?! ... Oh wait. Ohh" XP
As a board-certified music therapist, I love the accurate and simple explanations this video gives for musicians and non-musicians alike. This gives me hope that my field will one day be understood and respected fully, even when people still sometimes think “music therapy” is entertainment or their own personal relationship with music rather than a n evidence-based healthcare profession. Awesome video and thanks for advocating for us! 🎶
Thank you❤
Yes because it’s the only thing that keeps me sane
Oh my God, great video. Yes... Thank you.
I LOVE MUSIC THERAPY! It saved my life on more than one occasion. We focus on mental health. I am SO grateful to my music therapist! I am sharing my experience on my own YT channel. I highly recommend this creative therapy.
My whole life can be told by music, including my name. It's funny as if my parents knew I'd appreciate and learn to play music. I thank God for this art!! Awesome video as always.
Music therapist here! Thank you for representing 🤗
"A music therapist will mix Music and Talk Therapy to work through....The thing is that, the goal is never of music therapy is never purely musical".... This is not true of all types of music therapy. As a Nordoff Robbins trainee therapist (the largest music therapy charity in the UK) our goals in a session ARE purely musical. we do of course take into consideration the presentation and pathology of a client... but the approach is centred around jointly making music. Talking to our clients is not a focus of our approach , as we want our work to happen 'inside' the music as much as possible - HOWEVER I do really appreciate that this video has been made and viewed so many times! all knowledge of how music therapy CAN work is Great! Thank you!
Ahh that right handedness really messed with me watching the writing on the score
Yeah I’d say. Music is very powerful, it stirs all kinds of emotions in people. It’s very therapeutic and medicinal. It’s not just a commodity.
So good those collabs!
They speak slower ! \o/ I thought .. then this guy grabs a paper and .. hehehe
But still awesome ! :)
Gonna write somewhere that if it ever happens to me to get brain damage, I want my headphones on all the time to stay alive psychologically speaking. Thought this thing before watching this video and now I'm even more convinced to do that
The major part of music therapy is to let you have a tactile feeling which is created by the vibration sound. This technolgy is now available and patterned.
These videos are great and all but I miss regular twelve tone. Looking forward to new videos!

When he did the "Hey, welcome to 12tone," I lost it
I can't believe that elephants describing music has become my comfort zone.
I'm open for an interview.
Nice pipes and cool video, learned a lot and enjoyed the process as always. My only gripe is, I now want some gummy bears :P
I get concerned when the therapy includes using certain music or merely certain notes to tune my chakras. As emotional therapy OK. Active music therapy seems to have promise for use in connecting the body and brain.
I was thinking the previous paragraph and then you started explaining it while I played guitar and composed the message.
10:03 really? Im on the spectrum and i have misophonia and i cope with my misophonia with bluetooth headphones and music during school. Ive notice that when i started treating my misophonia that over the years ive gotten better with social skills and other stuff relating to my asd and it feels like i dont have aspergers anymore. Maybe me listening to music helped me, but i dont have a bachelor's degree or anything like that so idk
I've been saying that After Laughter (Paramore) is my medecine
This reminds me of Rocket Science. 2007 movie about a kid who uses the banjo to help his speach and join a debate club
Judas Priest does have a song called "Painkiller" so to answer your question, yes music can be medicine.
John Zorn has a jazz metal band called painkiller
This made me giggle
Why is a distinct image from the Animal House Toga Party comes into my head?
If I couldn’t pick my guitar up, play and write, i would’ve blown my brains out years ago.
cw self harm (line breaks follow)
.

i have a lot of struggles with self harm. the feeling that drives it is wanting to dissociate from my body. playing music is one of the few things that actually works as a substitute for self harm for me because when i'm playing i can often just get lost in the intervals and chords and scales & structures and i forget i'm a person, so i kinda accomplish the same thing.
sometimes i will start playing guitar and just "wake up" a half hour later, suddenly feeling better and remembering very little about the guitar playing session
spiders I do the same thing except I just start playing and improvising random parts and then forget it all when I’m done.
Stay strong please
What are your opinions on death metal, I personally love it? But my friends are scared by it , and often wonder why I find pleasures in extremely graphic and violent lyrics. I find the extremely fast music and guitars soothing it’s hit or miss with vocals
Yes it is workable by
Billy Eelish sounds like a BoJack Horseman character.
Jokes aside, good video. Surprised I didn't run into this sooner
I do believe that shell shock is helped, when they use music therapy.
*I don't know of other but Heavy Metal heals me*
Expressionless right on brother 🤘🏼
For personal Use
6:26-7:56
WHAT IS THAT MELODY
Yes.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Is that an early 19th century piano?
WhyCan'tIRemainAnonymous?! It’s actually a depression-era piano, which means the iron plate is made out of aluminum, making it much lighter...but also more prone to warping. However, I haven’t noticed a big difference in keeping tune compared to other pianos. Plus it’s been in the family forever, so it has sentimental value. 😊
I am a music therapist board-certified! Thanks for spreading awesome accurate information! :)
Not all music therapists practice the jolly proper ethics.... obviously linked to the all so wonderfull reputation of the profession..
Did he really say Eee-lish instead of Eye-lish? Good video, but. . . How
Ya ,I hate when people butcher the pronunciation of her name.
@@neutral_puma845 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
wow so handsome
Full respect to Cory but this proves my theory that his left-handed-ness really hurts the handwritten concept: his hand hides what he wrote for way longer than this guy's, making it harder for the viewer to absorb the information. Unfortunately I can't think of a solution to this, other than a 12-tone channel in Hebrew.
Glad to see Captian America found a hobby after retiring
That guitar is untuned
this video in a nutshell: Gabby Gifford got shot in the head. Being a congresswoman, she received the highest standard of care available on the planet. She also listened to music. A year later, she was recovered enough for somebody to ghost-write a book for her. In conclusion, music heals bullet wounds!
You must be fun at parties.
There's a way to be skeptical without being a dick about it
Interesting topic, but something about this guy really gives me the creeps.
He seems lovely to me!
your video was cool! thank u:)
